Hezhou Jade Stone Forest is a very rare "Jade Stone Forest" composed of white marble pillars and stalagmites. It was formed in the Jurassic period more than 100 million years ago. Due to the uplift of geological faults in Yanshan period, the long-term karst infiltration and the influence of local high temperature, as well as the tin mining since the Song Dynasty 1000 years, the stratum peaks in the area are exposed from the stone buds, the strange peaks are abrupt, and stalagmite columns, geosynclines and slits are densely distributed. Independent of the surrounding limestone mountains, it is praised as a "fairyland on earth" by tourists and a geological miracle by geologists.

1. Historical value: According to historical records, over 2,000 years ago, for a long period of time since the Han Dynasty, the imperial courts of all dynasties attached great importance to the development of Fengjiang (now known as Hejiang), because it was one of the main channels for China to open to the outside world and conduct international trade activities at that time. In the past, some scholars called it "Han-Qin Ancient Road" or "Xiaohe Ancient Road". In recent years, Guangdong historical and cultural experts have made new discoveries in the study of ancient roads. They believe that the ancient Silk Road in China is likely to be a land and sea transportation network; The "Han-Qin Ancient Road" is one of the main connecting channels for sea-land combined transport. Cultural relics experts found signs of handover in Hezhou. Scholars in our city generally agree with Guangdong experts, calling this road "Hezhou Ancient Road" (abbreviated as "Hezhou Ancient Road").

Second, scientific research value: Hezhou Stone Forest is unique with white inside and black outside. According to experts' research, it is the thermal action of Mesozoic Devonian carbonate intrusion into Guposhan rock mass that led to the formation of coarse-grained marble as white as jade here. The exposed stone pillars have been infected with black due to the long-term drying and weathering of bryophytes attached to the surface, which is the material basis and characteristics of the development of Hezhou Stone Forest. Professor Chen Zhaomian of the Development Research Center of China Geological Survey is euphemistically called "Jade Stone Forest". In addition, there are many geological elements in Shilin, such as iron hat, tin ore, iron ore, mineralization time pulse, intrusive contact zone and so on, which have great scientific research value. Third, cultural value: Hezhou Stone Forest is like a "cultural salon" that spans time and space.
